Answer 1

well flip your hair over so you're like facing the ground.

start putting your hair in a ponytail and on your last elastic pull, don't take your hair out into a ponytail. just leave it like a bun, if that makes sense.

and leave out some stray strands to make it look messier.

look here too... it's pretty helpful.

Answer 2

I just pull all my hair up like I'm putting it in a ponytail but I don't pull it all the way through... pin up any strands that fall down..

pretty simple and quick.

Double headbands turn a loose bun into a chic style!

Just follow these easy steps to create a cute look to wear to school or a party!

1. Apply a dollop of straightening gel to towel-dried hair. Use your fingers to distribute the product evenly from roots to ends.

2. Blow-dry four-inch sections of hair (using medium heat), holding the dryer three inches from your head, and use a paddle brush to straighten and smooth each section.

3. Pull your hair into a loose ponytail and secure it with an elastic at your crown. Twist and wrap your hair into a messy bun, then loop the ends through the elastic.

4. Run your fingers through the front of your hair to loosen it from the elastic, and add texture. Slide in a thin black headband two inches from your hairline.

5. Slide a second thin black headband three inches behind the first one. Mist your entire head with nonaerosol hairspray from eight inches away to secure your style.

i no this isnt exactly what u wanted but it is so cool and way california meets newyork

   1.Take a brush and comb it back at the top so that the top of your hair is teased backwards. Then with the brush tease the sides of your hair. With your hands, smooth your crown and spritz heavily with any hairspray. Repeat the brushing and smooth it over with your hands.

   3. Gather your hair with both hands and put it in a high ponytail, smoothing out the bumps carefully while moving your hair up your crown. Do this by flipping your hair upside down and gathering all your hair in one spot. It's helpful to use a paddle brush for this step.

   4. Secure the bun with one of the following methods, depending on the thickness of your hair and the size of the elastic:

          * Tie your elastic around the center of the circle. It will look like you have a small donut in the middle of your head with hair sticking out from the back of it in all directions.Stick the hair that is sticking out into the same elastic.[1]

          * Wrap your elastic twice around your hair, then pull your ponytail half-way through the elastic. Pull some bits and pieces out from inside the half-ponytail so it's hanging down. You may also want to leave out wisps around the nape of your neck.

        

  * Secure your elastic around your hair tightly into a ponytail. Coil your hair around the base of your ponytail as if you were putting it in a ballerina bun. Flatten the bun to your head and secure with an elastic. Try pinning it with bobby pins- when done well, this helps the look a lot. Pull out bits and pieces and shake your head until you achieve the desired effect.

          * Pull hair back into a ponytail, then backcomb it (hold the bottom of your ponytail and brush UPWARDS towards the elastic) until it is quite fluffed up, then spray with some hairspray.If your hair is quite long, wrap it around the base of your pony a little,then secure it with an elastic; but if your hair is shorter you can just secure the bun with another elastic after folding the end of your pony back against the beginning. Then gently brush the bun to pull out a few tendrils of hair.

          * Comb hair back, and make a low bun. Then, make a bun out of the bun. Tie with an elastic, making sure the bunned-bun stays in

place, and doesn't tumble out into a ponytail.

          * Make the left hand grab the pony, and let go of your right hand. Put an elastic (while still holding onto the ponytail with the left hand) around your right wrist. Lift your right hand so that its right by the ponytail. With your left hand grab the elastic on the right hand and pull so it wraps around the pony. Tug the elastic very far and tightly twist, so that the left hand will now be inside the elastic. With the right hand again, tug the elastic to the right so it wraps around but instead of what you did last time, stop in the middle of the dangling hair and twist. Now your right hand should be tight in the pony. With your left hand, grab the elastic off your right wrist and pull so that it stops at the messy buns end.

   5. Accentuate your hairstyle by doing any of the following:

          * Run your fingers through the front of your hair to loosen it from the elastic and add texture.

          * Slide in a thin black headband two inches back from your hair line. Slide in a second thin black headband three inches behind the first one. If you have blond hair, use two black headbands or darker colored headbands. If you have brown or black hair, try using white headbands or a different light colored headband.

  

6. Mist your entire head with hairspray. While spraying the hairspray make sure you spray it about seven to eight inches away. This will help your messy bun stay put longer.

Tips

    * An alternative might be just to hold your hair in a ponytail (without a hair tie), twist the hair, and coil it around. Then, tie around the coil and after a while, little bits of hair will start falling out! Don't be afraid to experiment- the messy bun can almost be called an art form, and there is no precise way to do it. It's just that- messy.

    

* This can easily be turned into a romantic look by softly curling the pieces as they fall out of the bun so they are like tendrils.

  

* Hair spray helps it stay in place.
